SCHUMACHER Mi4LPTEAM DRIVER INPUT IS READILYAPPARENT IN THE IMPROVEMENTSAND INNOVATIONS PRESENT INTHIS LATEST OFFERINGIt’s hard to call an electronics company “up and coming” when they’ve already won a world cham-pionship and multiple national titles, but Speed Passion still has that underdog feel in the market.When the company offered to let me use the beta version of its Supercharger software, I couldn’tresist. Speed Passion V3 motors are becoming extremely popular because of the ease with whichyou can change them: just unplug the three, 4mm motor leads and plug them right into another V3motor. Speed Power batteries are owned by the parent company of Speed Passion—King GoldenLtd. The 4,000mAh Speed Power pack fits and balances the Mi4LP perfectly and has plenty ofpunch for stock or even mod racing.The Mi4LP combinesworld-championship-level quality and designwith a simple eleganceand maintenanceease that can onlybe achieved throughbrilliant engineering.

Team driver input is
readily apparent in
the improvements and
innovations present in
this latest offering from
“across the pond.” If
you are in the market
for a no-compromises,
pro-level touring car,
it’s definitely worthy
of your short list. The
price point, handling
characteristics, and the
fact that it was one of
the easiest kit builds
I’ve ever done should
also make it a serious
contender for any beginner or intermediate
driver looking for an
easy step up into
pro-quality equipment.
